Scottish Slang: Scotland’s Oldest and Favourite Phrases Translated

The official language of Scotland might be English, but that might not be the case. The Scottish people have put so much of a twist on their language that it’s an entirely different language altogether. If you happen to be visiting the country, Basic English should get you through. But if you want the authentic Scots experience you should learn some of this Scottish slang:

· Aye Right

Translation: Yeah, right. Use: When you don’t believe something that you are being told.

· Pure Dead Brilliant

Translation: Really Good. Use: Describing something good that has happened.
